Executive Summary The Master Plan, approved by City Council on July 10, 2018, guides development and land use in the historic Village and Barrio neighborhoods. The Village and Barrio are west of Interstate 5 and roughly between Laguna Drive and Tamarack Avenue in northwest Carlsbad. The approved Master Plan is available on the city's website at www.carl sbadca .gov/village barrio . Over 40 percent of the approximately 350-acre planning area is in the state-designated Coastal Zone. In this zone, all land use planning and development must be consistent with the California Coastal Act. While the City Council's approval of the Master Plan became effective outside the Coastal Zone in August 2018, it will not become effective inside the Coastal Zone unless certified by the California Coastal Commission. If certified, the Master Plan would serve as the "Local Coastal Program" to implement the Coastal Act in the Village and Barrio. A certified plan would also replace the Village Master Plan and Design Manual and general zoning regulations still applicable in the Coastal Zone portions of the Master Plan. In September 2018, staff applied to the Coastal Commission to amend the Local Coastal Program in the Village and Barrio and certify the Master Plan. Both commission and city staff have worked cooperatively since then to address concerns. On June 13, 2019, the Coastal Commission certified the Master Plan conditioned upon the City Council's acceptance of 23 August 20, 2019 Item #9 Page 1 of 96 plan revisions, or "suggested modifications." The commission required the modifications to ensure implementation of the Coastal Act in the Village and Barrio. City staff recommends acceptance of the suggested modifications. If the City Council approves this action, staff will then transmit the acceptance to Coastal Commission for its consideration. Discussion As approved by the Coastal Commission, the suggested modifications: • Are generally narrow in their purpose as their primary intent is to ensure consistency with the Coastal Act. • Further the following goals, consistent with the Coastal Act: o Maximize public access, including parking and trails, to and along the coast o Assure priority for visitor-serving uses o Protect and enhancing the coastal environment, including its natural resources o Ensure compliance with the Coastal Act and Local Coastal Program • Affect only the Master Plan and no other components of the city's Local Coastal Program, such as the zoning map • Modify only the parts of the Master Plan the Coastal Commission has determined make up the Local Coastal Program for the Village and Barrio: o Section 1.5 (Goals and Policies) o Chapter 2 (Land Use, except Section 2.8) o Chapter 3 (Signs) o Section 4.5.2 (Managing Parking and Increasing Mobility) o Chapter 6 (Administration), and o Appendix A (Definitions) • Clarify and refine Master Plan policies and standards rather than result in significant or wholesale revisions to the document. • Make no changes to overall land use patterns, district boundaries, permitted densities, building height standards, parking ratios, setback requirements, or design guidelines. • Include, at city staff's request, minor Master Plan edits that are non-substantive to the commission's certification of the plan A variety of guiding documents, including the Carlsbad Community Vision, General Plan, and existing Local Coastal Program, influenced preparation of the Master Plan. Likewise, stakeholders such as the Coastal Commission staff provided input during the plan's drafting. Work with commission staff prior to and after the Master Plan's approval by City Council enabled many commission concerns regarding project consistency with the Coastal Act to be addressed. August 20, 2019 Item #9 Page 2 of 96 The suggested modifications can be separated into two categories: Coastal Commission required changes to implement the Coastal Act and minor Master Plan edits requested by city staff. The following outline only briefly describes some of the changes under each category. Please refer to the Coastal Commission staff report (Exhibit 4) for a more thorough discussion of all suggested modifications and exhibits 1 and 2 for a complete listing of them. Coastal Commission required changes to implement the Coastal Act • Add a policy addressing improvements to Carlsbad Boulevard and Carlsbad Village Drive to specify such improvements shall not significantly impact coastal access, shall target equity and adequate circulation among all modes of travel, and shall require travel time analysis and City Council approval if improvements would result in or worsen an existing or future vehicular level of service of E or below • Revise the permitted use matrix to prohibit or allow certain uses on the ground floor street frontage to assure priority for visitor-serving uses; • In the Coastal Zone, require a minimum average building depth of at least 25 feet for new ground floor street frontage uses along Carlsbad Boulevard and Carlsbad Village Drive to assure visitor-serving uses are the priority ground floor uses • Require surface parking to be located behind buildings and away from the street frontages unless determ i ned infeasible by the decision-maker • In the Coastal Zone, require curb cafe removal if public parking occupancies reach a specific threshold for five consecutive years unless replacement public parking is secured • Consider parking reductions for projects that reduce parking demand, such as through implementation of TDM measures, upon submittal of appropriate analysis and evidence and based on surrounding public parking occupancies • Prohibit roof signs, billboards, and pole signs exceeding five feet in height Minor Master Plan edits requested by city staff Edits requested by city staff make many housekeeping changes, such as correcting misspellings or section references. They also clarify several standards, some of which are described below. • Clarify line of sight requirements at alley and street or driveway intersections to improve motorist and pedestrian visibility • Explain the purpose and use of the parking in lieu fee • Revise the size limit applied to enclosed fourth floor space by adding and deleting text as follows: The total square footage of enclosed fourth floor space shall not exceed 80 percent of the largest enclosed floor space below (floors one, two, or three). However, in no case shall the fourth floor enclosed space exceed the amount of third floor enclosed space third floor footprint. By basing the standard on "enclosed floor space" rather than "footprint," this revision provides a clearer means of determining allowed fourth floor enclosed space. It also avoids penalizing developers who voluntarily reduce the size of first, second, and third floors. August 20, 2019 Item #9 Page 3 of 96 • Refine the residential common open space requirement in the PT, BP, and BC districts (15 or 25 square feet/unit) to apply only to projects with more than ten units; this provides consistency with the other Master Plan districts. • Exclude garages from the 5,000 square foot limit applied to residential and non- residential buildings the city planner may approve; including garages as the plan currently requires can make it difficult to achieve reasonably-sized residential units under City Planner authority. • Clarify breweries are to produce beer on-site. • Clarify distilleries may permit consumption of on-site produced spirits only. • Delete the definition of "restaurant with entertainment" to eliminate requirements that are in addition to those of the recently passed Entertainment License Ordinance (Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 8.09). The attached Coastal Commission staff report discusses all approved revisions. The staff report, agenda and video for the June 13 hearing are also available on the commission's website under "meetings" at https://www.coastal.ca .gov/. At the June 13 Coastal Commission hearing, five people spoke. Speakers supported the Master Plan, but one recommended the commission require a minimum SO-foot depth for commercial spaces. Other speakers shared about potential expansion of the Carlsbad by the Sea retirement community, located on Carlsbad Boulevard in the Village. Submitted written comments, provided as part of the attached staff report, discuss community character and aspects of the Master Plan's bicycle plan. The bicycle plan is not a component of the Local Coastal Program as approved by the Coastal Commission. None of the comments modified the commission's action. Fiscal Analysis On February 28, 2017, the City Council approved a professional services agreement and additional appropriation to assist in preparation of the Master Plan, including incorporation of Coastal Commission-approved changes. No additional funds are requested. Next Steps If the City Council approves the recommended action, the city will then forward the approved ordinance demonstrating acceptance of the suggested modifications to the Coastal Commission. This final step is required for the Coastal Commission to verify the city's acceptance. Staff expects this verification would occur in late 2019. Until then, property in the Coastal Zone remains subject to the Carlsbad Village Master Plan and Design Manual, which was last substantially amended in 2007, and other existing land use and zoning requirements. After Coastal Commission confirms City Council's action to accept the suggested modifications, city staff will produce a new Village and Barrio Master Plan document that provides a single, unified set of standards for all properties whether in or out of the Coastal Zone. August 20, 2019 Item #9 Page 4 of 96 Environmental Evaluation (CEQA) As part of its July 24, 2018, actions approving the Village and Barrio Master Plan, the City Council adopted Resolution 2018-129, adopting a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the Village and Barrio Master Plan. Furthermore, acceptance and approval of the Coastal Commission's suggested modifications are exempt actions from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15265(a)(l). Public Notification and Outreach Publ i c notification included public hearing notices mailed to interested parties, published in the newspaper and posted on the city website. "Interested parties" include persons who provided comments on the Master Plan either as a letter or email or who spoke at a public hearing. Copies are available in the Office of the City Clerk. City staff also provided public notification via updates to the Village and Barrio Master Plan portion of the city's website (www.carlsbadca .gov/villagebarrio ) and emails to several hundred individuals requesting email updates on the Master Plan . Furthermore, in advance of its June 13 hearing on the Master Plan, the Coastal Commission mailed public hearing notices to the interested parties described above. Exhibits 1.

August 20, 2019 Item #9 Page 54 of 96 LCP-6-CVR-18-0070-1 Village & Barrio Master Plan Page2 modified pursuant to twenty-three (23) suggested modifications. While the request includes revisions to the City's LUP and Zoning Ordinance, as well as components of the Village and Mello II LCP segments, through cooperative work between City and Commission staffs, most potential LUP/IP inconsistency concerns have been addressed and agreed upon. The majority of the suggested modifications are clarifications and refinements to proposed LUP policies. The Village Barrio Master Plan represents the culmination of the City's efforts to revitalize its historic downtown core. The "Village" is developed along the major corridors of Carlsbad Village Drive and Carlsbad Boulevard/Coast Highway which also serve as critical coastal access corridors to bring both residents and visitors to the shoreline. In the last several years, the Commission has seen a number of proposals seeking to redesign and modify historic Coast Highway along San Diego County's north coast shoreline. Most recently, in Encinitas, the Commission approved the Encinitas Streetscape proposal after careful analysis and the inclusion of public access benefits. Directly north of Carlsbad, the City of Oceanside is also conducting studies to revitalize and redevelop its Coast Highway corridor. The Commission supports "complete streets" concepts and the expansion of alternate transit opportunities; however, such efforts should not come at the expense of maintaining critical public parking reservoirs for beachgoers or result in unanticipated deterrents to coastal mobility from such road projects. Therefore, quantitative analysis that addresses key coastal access parameters, such as travel time and summer traffic demands, must be included and these coastal access concerns are addressed in the proposed suggested modifications. In addition, another focus area for work between the City and Commission was the identification and protection of priority uses within the Village/Barrio area as it undergoes redevelopment. Under the Coastal Act, visitor-serving uses have a clear priority and mandate for this nearshore segment. For the most part, the permitted uses proposed by the City were acceptable and some minor concerns have been mutually resolved. However, just as important as the delineation of permitted uses in the plan, the design parameters for development are also critical. Given the desire to create meaningful space for leaseholds along the street, activate the streetscape and support visitor uses in the downtown area, Commission staff felt the inclusion of a minimum depth for the leaseholds, along with street frontage requirements was important. Absent such provisions, non-priority uses, including even parking, could diminish the establishment of a pedestrian-friendly and active street-front. Finally, the City has put a lot of effort into managing the public parking supply in the downtown core and advancing alternate transit options for residents and visitors alike. The Commission supports all these efforts but again must ensure that coastal access needs are balanced. In this regard, policies have been developed in cooperation with the City to utilize its annual parking analyses to consider site specific parking determinations or the appropriateness of installing curb cafes as an activating element.

OVERVIEW A. LCP HISTORY LCP-6-CVR-18-0070-1 Village & Barrio Master Plan Page4 The City of Carlsbad's certified LCP contains six geographic segments as follows: Agua Hedionda, Mello I, Mello II, West Batiquitos Lagoon/Sammis Properties, East Batiquitos Lagoon/Hunt Properties, and Village Area. Pursuant to Sections 30170(£) and 30171 of the Public Resources Code, the Coastal Commission prepared and approved two portions of the LCP, the Mello I and II segments and 1980 and 1981, respectively. The West Batiquitos Lagoon/Sammis Properties segment was certified in 1985. The East Batiquitos Lagoon/Hunt Properties segment was certified in 1988; the City has been issuing coastal development permits there since that time. The Housing and Redevelopment Commission and the City Council originally approved the policies, regulations, guidelines, and procedures set forth within the Village Master Plan and Design Manual on December 5, 1995. The California Coastal Commission approved and certified the document as of September 12, 1996. As a result of the Coastal Commission's approval and certification of the Village Master Plan and Design Manual, the policies, regulations, guidelines, and procedures set forth within the document became fully effective in all areas of the Village segment, including those areas located within the Coastal Zone, as of September 12, 1996. On October 21, 1997, the City assumed permit jurisdiction and has been issuing coastal development permits for all segments except Agua Hedionda. The Agua Hedionda LCP segment is a deferred certification area until an implementation plan for that segment is certified. The proposed amendment would affect both the land use plan and implementation plan components of the Village and Mello II LCP segments. The Housing and Redevelopment Commission and the City Council approved amendments to the policies, regulations, guidelines and procedures set forth within the Village Master Plan and Design Manual on November 20, 2007. The California Coastal Commission approved and certified the amended document as of November 5, 2009. Pages were renumbered as appropriate to accommodate the amendments. On July 21, 2010, the effectiveness date for the Carlsbad Village Redevelopment Plan' expired. Although various redevelopment activities continue according to existing contracts, agreements, covenants and restrictions, the Plan itself expired and revisions were required to the Village Master Plan and Design Manual and related policies as a consequence of expiration of the Redevelopment Plan. These revisions were approved by the Housing and Redevelopment Commission and City Council on June 23, 2009. The minor amendments were certified by the California Coastal Commission on November 5, 2009. B. STANDARDOFREVIEW The standard of review for land use plans, or their amendments, is found in Section 30512 of the Coastal Act. This section requires the Commission to certify an LUP or LUP amendment if it finds that it meets the requirements of and conforms with Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act. Specifically, it states: August 20, 2019 Item #9 Page 58 of 96 Section 30512 LCP-6-CVR-18-0070-1 Village & Barrio Master Plan Page 5 ( c) The Commission shall certify a land use plan, or any amendments thereto, if it finds that a land use plan meets the requirements of, and is in conformity with, the policies of Chapter 3 ( commencing with Section 30200). Except as provided in paragraph (1) of subdivision (a), a decision to certify shall require a majority vote of the appointed membership of the Commission. Pursuant to Section,30513 of the Coastal Act, the Commission may only reject zoning ordinances or other implementing actions, as well as their amendments, on the grounds that they dp not conform with, or are inadequate to carry out, the provisions of the certified land use plan. The Commission shall take action by a majority vote of the Commissioners present. In those cases when a local government approves implementing ordinances in association with a land use plan amendment and both are submitted to the Commission for certification as part of one LCP amendment, pursuant to Section 13542(c) of the Commission's regulations, the standard ofreview of the implementing actions shall be the land use plan most recently certified by the Commission. Thus, if the land use plan is conditionally certified subject to local government acceptance of the suggested modifications, the standard of review shall be the conditionally certified land use plan. C. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION Section 30503 of the Coastal Act requires local governments to provide the public with maximum opportunities to participate in the development of the LCP amendment prior to its submittal to the Commission for review. The City has held Planning Commission and City Council meetings with regard to the subject amendment request. All of those local hearings were duly noticed to the public. Notice of the subject amendment has been distributed to all known interested parties. PART II.

August 20, 2019 Item #9 Page 61 of 96 LCP-6-CVR-18-0070-1 Village & Barrio Master Plan Page 8 PART III. SUGGESTED MODIFICATIONS Staff recommends the following suggested revisions to the proposed LCP be adopted. The underlined sections represent language that the Commission suggests be added, and the struck out sections represent language which the Commission suggests be deleted from the language as originally submitted. Chapter 1/lntroduction: 1. Modify Section 1.5.2 Mobility and Parking to add a policy related to road modifications as follows: In the Master Plan area, Carlsbad Boulevard and Carlsbad Village Drive are the major coastal access streets -the main routes to and along the coast for pedestrians, cyclists, buses and vehicles. To foster access to shoreline recreation areas, improvements to these streets shall target equity and adequate circulation among all modes of travel, including walking, biking, public transportation and private vehicle. Street improvements that significantly impact coastal access shall be avoided. Modifications to Carlsbad Boulevard or Carlsbad Village Drive, that would reduce vehicle capacity resulting in or worsening an existing or future vehicular level of service (LOS) E or below at one or more intersections or segments (with or without proposed development), requires a quantitative analysis and City Council approval. The quantitative analysis will project the change in travel time resulting from the project along the roadway to determine if coastal access is impacted. Available relevant circulation information from Caltrans, SANDAG and other cities along the affected roadway shall be included in the analysis. The quantitative analysis shall be derived from an adequate number of travel time surveys and shall address the prime beach use and peak travel volume periods on at least two weekends between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Modification to the identified roadways shall include public access benefit enhancements promoting multi-modal access and safety for all users. Public access benefit enhancements may include, but are not limited to, improved pedestrian and cyclist access, increased access to public transportation services and increased public parking. 2.

The city engineer may require their temporary or permanent removal to accommodate street or other infrastructure improvements or maintenance or to ensure adequate public parking is maintained. In the Coastal Zone, if city-authorized parking studies indicate public parking occupancy within a quarter-mile radius of the curb cafe is 85 percent or more for five consecutive years, the curb cafe shall be removed unless the applicant can secure replacement public parking within the quarter-mile radius equal to the number of on-street parking spaces impacted by the curb cafe. 12 . Modify Table 2-4 , Parking Options -Mobility Alternatives as follows: Based on the city-authorized annual parking studies required by Policy 1.5.2.B.9 or an applicant-prepared parking study that employs the same methodology used in preparation of the city's annual parking studies or other information and that provides, as necessary, project specific analysis to support the effect of specific project measures or project- generated parking demand, reductions to parking requirements may be implemented. This may include reductions for the implementation of Transportation Demand Management (TDM) measures , shuttles , ride 'share programs , or other programs or measures that will reduce parking demand and incentivize alternatives to driving. Parking reductions may not exceed 10 percent of a project 's parking requirement if city-authorized parking studies for the three prior reporting years reveal an average parking occupancy of 85 . percent or more for all public parking within a quarter mile radius of the project. Otherwise, parking reductions shall be ev idence-based and determined by the decision- maker. 13. Modify Table 2-4 , Parking Options -New on-street public parking as follows: The creation of two on-street public parking spaces along the frontage of the subject property by closing ex isting curb cuts or providing additional right-of-way may result in the reduction of one on-site parking space, subject to the city engineer 's approval and the following stipulations: 1.

Modify the Village and Barrio Master Plan in accordance with the thirty-one (31) City-requested technical errata modifications found in Appendix B. PART IV. FINDINGS FOR DENIAL OF CERTIFICATION OF THE CITY OF CARLSBAD LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT, AS SUBMITTED A. AMENDMENT DESCRIPTION The City proposes to expand the boundaries of the existing Village LCP segment to incorporate the Barrio area and several other parcels from the Mello II LCP segment and rename the Village LCP segment to the Village-Barrio L CP segment; repeal the existing Village Master Plan and Design Manual (the LUP/IP for the Village LCP segment) and replace it with the Village-Barrio Master Plan ; revise text and graphics in the City's certified LUP to reflect the new name and expanded boundaries of the Village-Barrio LCP segment; and eliminate the existing Village Review (V-R) land use designation and redesignate all parcels located within the Village-Barrio LCP segment with a new Village-Barrio (V-B) land use designation . B. CONFORMANCE WITH SECTION 30001.5 OF THE COAST AL ACT The Commission finds , pursuant to Section 30512.2b of the Coastal Act, that portions of the Land Use Plan as set forth in the preceding resolutions, are not in conformance with the policies and requirements of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act to the extent necessary to achieve the basic state goals specified in Section 30001.5 of the Coastal Act which states: August 20, 2019 Item #9 Page 67 of 96 LCP-6-CVR-18-0070-1 Village & Barrio Master Plan Page 14 The legislature further finds and declares that the basic goals of the state for the Coastal Zone are to: a) Protect, maintain and, where feasible, enhance and restore the overall quality of the coastal zone environment and its natural and manmade resources. b) Assure orderly, balanced utilization and conservation of coastal zone resources taking into account the social and economic needs of the people of the state. c) Maximize public access to and along the coast and maximize public recreational opportunities in the coastal zone consistent with sound resource conservation principles and constitutionally protected rights or private property owners. (d) Assure priority for coastal-dependent and coastal-related development over other development on the coast. ( e) Encourage state and local initiatives and cooperation in preparing procedures to implement coordinated planning and development for mutually beneficial uses, including educational uses, in the coastal zone. The Commission therefore finds, for the specific reasons detailed below, that the land use plan does not conform with Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act or the goals of the state for the coastal zone with regards to maximizing public recreational activities in the coastal zone and assuring priority for coastal-dependent and coastal related development over other development on the coast. C. NONCONFORMITY OF THE CITY OF CARLSBAD LAND USE PLAN WITH CHAPTER 3 The standard of review for LCP land use plan submittals or amendments is their consistency with and ability to carry out the provisions of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act. All parcels within the VBMP are proposed to remain with their current land use designations, but will have new titles to reflect the adoption of the new Village and Barrio Master Plan. In addition to retitling land use designations, the City proposes to modify several permitted uses within the Village and Barrio segment. As proposed, there are several sections within the VBMP that the Commission finds to be inconsistent with policies contained in Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act. Section 30210 states: In carrying out the requirements of Section 4 of Article X of the California Constitution, maximum access, which shall be conspicuously posted, and recreational opportunities shall be provided for all the people consistent with public safety needs and the need to protect public rights, rights of private property owners, and natural resource areas from overuse. August 20, 2019 Item #9 Page 68 of 96 Section 30213 states: LCP-6-CVR-18-0070-1 Village & Barrio Master Plan Page 15 Lower cost visitor and recreational facilities shall be protected, encouraged, and, where feasible , provided. Developments providing public recreational opportunities are preferred. Section 30222 states: The use of private lands suitable for visitor-serving commercial recreation facilities designed to enhance public opportunities for coastal recreation shall have priority over private residential, general industrial, or general commercial development, but not over agriculture or coastal-dependent industry. Section 30240 states: (a) Environmentally sensitive habitat areas shall be protected against any significant disruption of habitat values, and only uses dependent on those resources shall be allowed within those areas. (b) Development in areas adjacent to environmentally sensitive habitat areas and parks and recreation areas shall be sited and designed to prevent impacts which would significantly degrade those areas, and shall be compatible with the continuance of those habitat and recreation areas . Section 30252 states: The location and amount of new development should maintain and enhance public access to the coast by (1) facilitating the provision or extension of transit service, (2) providing commercial facilities within or adjoining residential development or in other areas that will minimize the use of coastal access roads, (3) providing nonautomobile circulation within the development, (4) providing adequate parking facilities or providing substitute means of serving the development with public transportation, (5) assuring the potential for public transit in high intensity uses such as high-rise office buildings, and by (6) assuring that the recreational needs of new residents will not overload nearby coastal recreation areas by correlating the amounf of development with local park acquisition and development plans with the provision of onsite recreational facilities to serve the new development. Public Access Public access to and along the coast can be impacted in a number of ways. For example, Section 1.5 .2 Mobility and Parking does not address road modification projects that may impact coastal access and raises questions regarding consistency with Sections 30210 and 30252 of the Coastal Act. The VBMP discusses the evaluation of project consistency with applicable land use documents and briefly mentions improvements to ride share and August 20, 2019 Item #9 Page 69 of 96 LCP-6-CVR-18-0070-1 Village & Barrio Master Plan Page 16 bike share, but does not explicitly discuss how roadway project impacts are to be evaluated, or that public access benefits should be considered alongside .roadway modification project proposals. As proposed, Section 1.5.2 could allow for roadway modification projects that would increase travel time, potentially resulting in reduced coastal accessibility. Also as proposed, roadway modification projects are not required to incorporate public access benefit enhancements that promote II).Ulti-modal access and are not required to provide quantitative travel-time data or to include peak, summer-month traffic data. Carlsbad Boulevard and Carlsbad Village Drive are the main routes to and along the coast for pedestrians, cyclists; buses, and vehicles. Roadway modifications to these two streets or any other streets that intersect with these streets can potentially cause further congestion and traffic jams, especially during peak travel times and during the summer months. In a recent Commission action (CDP #A-6-ENC-18-0019 City of Encinitas North Coast Highway 101 Streetscape Project), the City of Encinitas provided a quantitative traffic impact analysis of expected circulation effects for the proposed project to the Commission, and it was found that an increase of roughly two minutes through the approximately 2.4 mile project corridor was not significant and the project was ultimately approved. However, in the case of the Encinitas Streetscape, the traffic impact analysis took into account data for one summer weekday and for one summer weekend day. Without requiring estimated travel time data or peak summer traffic data to be included in roadway modification proposals, Section 1.5.2 would lack the provision of critical information necessary to fully understand project impacts. The Commission strives to foster access to shoreline recreation areas while maintaining adequate circulation on major coastal access roadways, and to target equity among all modes of travel, and finds this section inconsistent with the goals of the Legislature and applicable Chapter 3 policies. Land Resources Figure 2-5 of the submitted VBMP shows the two parcels in the VC district bordering Buena Vista Lagoon, a state ecological reserve. As proposed, development of these parcels shall comply with the Carlsbad Habitat Management Plan and other applicable requirements, such as slope protection and coastal access. However, this requirement is insufficient because it does not capture all substantial and additional requirements without the need to reference other LCP certified documents. The policy fails to include the requirement for a lateral access easement as a condition of approval for any development on these parcels, and also fails to address setbacks, vegetation, and fire protection standards associated with parcels located near environmentally sensitive habitat areas (ESHA). Therefore, as proposed, Figure 2-5 cannot be found consistent with the Chapter 3 policies pertaining to protection of land resources and sensitive habitat. New Development/Parking/Coastal Access New development within the Village and Barrio shall ensure that adequate parking and public access are provided, and where feasible, maximized. As drafted, Section 2.6.5.A August 20, 2019 Item #9 Page 70 of 96 LCP-6-CVR-18-0070-1 Village & Barrio Master Plan Page 17 prohibits curb cafes on any street block with an on-street public parking occupancy of 85 percent or more based on the most recent City-authorized parking study or other information the city engineer accepts. However, as proposed, existing curb cafes may continue to be located on street blocks that are at or above 85 percent public parking occupancy, which may result in adverse impacts to coastal access. Without a policy or threshold in place, there is little policy direction to remove existing curb cafes even if parking is above 85 percent capacity. Similarly, the City's provision allowing the implementation of reductions to a project's parking requirements based on applicant-prepared parking studies also raises coastal access concerns. The City has proposed to allow for reductions in a project's parking requirements based on capacity levels determined through city-authorized parking studies, or applicant-prepared parking studies that utilize the same methodology as the city 's parking studies would use. However, the City did not propose a cap on the maximum amount of parking that would be allowed to be reduced for a given project. Without setting a limit on the amount of parking reductions allowed, public access to the shoreline as well as recreational opportunities could be impacted if parking shortages became prevalent. Further, the City did not provide a capacity threshold to be determined through a parking study, for when a project may not be allowed to have reduced parking requirements. While parking requirements may be lowered for a given project, public parking spaces may be used by visitors looking to park in one place and walk or travel elsewhere. As proposed, there is not a defined area that the parking studies must look at when determining parking capacities for projects. New Development/Priority Uses Within the VBMP planning area, the Hospitality (HOSP) district is located nearest to the coast, in some portions within one block of the beach. This HOSP district is meant to provide a transition from the beach to the heart of the Village area, and to provide opportunities for visitor-serving and hospitality uses serving visitors, with ground floor commercial uses primarily catering to visitors. The City's provisions to allow Professional Care Facilities on the ground floor street frontage in the HOSP district raises concerns about promoting priority uses within the Village and Barrio area. Professional Care Facilities, such as the existing Carlsbad-by-the-Sea, are proposed to be allowed as conditional uses within the HOSP district, portions of which are within one block from the beach. Permitted uses are allowed because they are consistent with the vision and intent of the district(s) in which they are located. Conditional uses, however, are subject to discretionary approval and are not typically priority uses within a district. While Professional Care Facilities may provide services to the public, they are not high-priority, visitor-serving uses that should be located on the ground floor street frontage within the HOSP district. Additionally, without a ground floor use restriction in place, Carlsbad-by- the-Sea or any other professional care facility would be able to locate or expand within the HOSP district and occupy ground floor space as non-visitor serving uses. Professional Care Facilities should not be exempt from the ground floor restricted uses requirement. August 20, 2019 Item #9 Page 71 of 96 LCP-6-CVR-18-0070-1 Village & Barrio Master Plan Page 18 Similarly, the city proposes to allow Child Day Care Centers on the ground floor street frontage within the entire VBMP planning area. The HOSP and Village Center (VC) districts are meant to serve as visitor-serving and commercial areas. Child Day Care Centers are not high-priority, visitor-serving uses and therefore they should not be permitted as ground floor street frontage uses within the HOSP or VC districts. Also, the City proposes to allow Athletic and Health Club, Gymnasium, and Physical Conditioning Businesses to be located on the ground floor street frontage in the HOSP district. Athletic clubs, yoga studios , or similar facilities should not be located on the ground floor within HOSP districts, especially in the case of the Village and Barrio segment in which the HOSP district is located within approximately one block of the coast. Gyms and other commercial-athletic uses may serve nonresidents as well as residents, but they should not be uses located on the ground floor street frontage in near- shore commercial areas as they are not clearly priority uses. Proposed Sections 2.7.1.I and 2.7.3.I require ground floor street frontage uses must occupy more than one-half of the habitable space developed on the ground floor and 80 percent of the building frontage, but do not specify minimum depth requirements. The Commission believes that visitor-serving commercial uses should be the priority use on the ground floor in mixed-use developments in the coastal zone. Without a required ground floor street frontage width or depth, residential or other non-priority uses would be able to occupy a large majority of ground floor street frontage, and non-visitor serving uses could occupy much of the VB area in the coastal zone. The City does not agree that a depth requirement should be imposed; instead, City staff have asked for a minimum ceiling height requirement for ground-floor parcels. However, the Commission finds that a minimum depth is more critical than height and believes a minimum depth requirement, along with the City's proposed frontage provision, be adopted. The Army and Navy Academy has been a part of Carlsbad for decades, and is located almost entirely within the Village and Barrio segment. While the Academy has a Master Site Plan for its own development, the plan was not reviewed by the Coastal Commission prior to its adoption and is not presently part of the city's certified LCP. The Commission would like to pursue incorporating the Master Site Plan into the city's LCP, but its incorporation is not proposed at this time. There are many planning and land use aspects not addressed in the Master Site Plan including sea level rise, geologic hazards, and improving access and public views near the western edge of the facility. However, it should be noted that the parcels in the Master Site Plan that would require updated policies for sea level rise, geologic hazards, and access and views are not located within the Village and Barrio segment, but are contained in the Mello II segment of Carlsbad's LCP. Existing plans and documents contained in the Master Site Plan will also need to be updated accordingly to reference the Village and Barrio Master Plan. Since the Master Site Plan is not proposed or certified as part of the city's LCP, future developments in and around the Academy must be addressed.in the VBMP, until an updated version of the Master Site Plan is certified into the LCP. Without addressing future development of the Academy in the VBMP, expansions and land use changes could occur that could be problematic, especially with regard to coastal access. Therefore, as proposed, the August 20, 2019 Item #9 Page 72 of 96 LCP-6-CVR-18-0070-1 Village & Barrio Master Plan Page 19 Commission cannot find the LUP amendment consistent with the Chapter 3 policies of the Coastal Act. PART V. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL OF THE CITY OF CARLSBAD LAND USE PLAN, IF MODIFIED In addition to Sections 30210 (maximum access), 30213 (encourage lower cost visitor/recreational facilities), 30222 (visitor use priority), 30240 ( development near environmentally sensitive habitat area), and 30252 (maintenance/enhancement of public access) cited above, the following Coastal Act sections are relevant: Section 30211 states: Development shall not interfere with the public's right of access to the sea where acquired through use or legislative authorization, including, but not limited to, the use of dry sand and rocky coastal beaches to the first line of terrestrial vegetation. Section 3 0251 states: The scenic and visual qualities of coastal areas shall be considered and protected as a resource of public importance. Permitted development shall be sited and designed to protect views to and along the ocean and scenic coastal areas, to minimize the alteration of natural land forms, to be visually compatible with the character of surrounding areas, and, where feasible, to restore and enhance visual quality in visually degraded areas. [. .. ] A. SPECIFIC FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL As proposed, the Master Plan fails to include a policy related to roadway modification projects. As modified, a policy would be incorporated in the interest of improving coastal access and equity among all travel modes. Without a policy in place to require the analysis of current versus changes in travel time resulting from a roadway project, coastal accessibility cannot be truly evaluated for impacts. City and Commission staffs have discussed this section and policy, and were not able to come to an agreement regarding the use of Level of Service (LOS) versus a quantitative change in travel time. An LOS calculation may not adequately capture potential increases in travel time caused by projects other than roadway modifications that narrow or reduce lanes, such as the addition of bike lanes and the subsequent addition of more cyclists on the road. Further, while City staff suggest that using peak travel volumes is not common road engineering practice and represents a worst-case planning scenario, the Commission believes that this data is necessary to make fully informed decisions. City staff would not like to require summer traffic data analysis, and have also suggested that such seasonal analysis can result in unnecessary project delay and higher costs in planning and designing roadway . improvements. An adequate number of travel time surveys including on weekends during the summer months and data from agencies and cities along the affected roadway need to August 20, 2019 Item #9 Page 73 of 96 LCP-6-CVR-18-0070-1 Village & Barrio Master Plan Page 20 be included in the analysis. If it is determined that a roadway modification project would significantly impact coastal access, then that project shall be avoided. Suggested Modification 1 adds that prior to modifying major coastal access roadways (including Carlsbad Boulevard and Carlsbad Village Drive) with current or projected LOS ofE or worse, a quantitative analysis of increase in change of travel time resulting from the project along the roadway shall be conducted to determine if coastal access is impacted; that travel time surveys shall address prime beach use and travel volume periods; projects that significantly impact coastal access shall be avoided; and modification to major coastal access roadways shall be accompanied by public access benefit enhancements including multi-modal accessibility projects. There are two parcels in the VC district that border Buena Vista Lagoon. As proposed, development requirements of these parcels fail to include the 25 foot wide lateral access easement condition of approval for those areas suitable for such a pathway to be developed along the L agoon. The proposal also fails to address setbacks, vegetation, and fire protection standards associated with parcels located near environmentally sensitive habitat areas (ESHA). Any development of these two parcels shall be set back from the bluff or slope edge consistent with the stringline requirements in the City 's LCP. Suggested Modification 16 clarifies that these two parcels shall comply with the Carlsbad Habitat Management Plan and other applicable requirements, such as slope protection and coastal access , provide a 25-foot wide lateral access easement required as a condition of approval for any development; set back from the bluff or slope edge consistent with that stringline requirements in the City's LCP; use native, drought tolerant and fire resistive vegetation; and landscape treatments for fire protection shall avoid disruption and encroachment into environmentally sensitive areas and conform with the City's fire protection standards. Section 2.6.5.A.4 discusses that curb cafes shall not be permitted on any street block with an on-street public parking occupancy of 85 percent or more based on a most recent parking study acceptable to the city engineer. The Commission concurs that curb cafes should not be permitted on a street with parking occupancy greater than 85 percent; however, the policy does not include a basis to allow for the removal of existing curb cafes if parking shortages are also noted. Thus , Suggested Modification 11 adds that in the Coastal Zone, if city-authorized parking studies indicate public parking occupancy within a quarter-mile radius of the curb cafe is 85 percent or more for five consecutive years, the curb cafe shall be removed unless the applicant can secure replacement public parking within the quarter-mile radius equal to the number of on-street parking spaces impacted by the curb cafe. Similarly, the City has proposed to allow for reductions in a project's parking requirements based on capacity levels determined through parking study data. However, the VBMP does not propose a cap on the maximum amount of parking allowed to be reduced within the Village and Barrio area. Without setting a limit on the amount of parking reductions allowed, or a capacity threshold for when a project may not be allowed to have reduced parking requirements, public access could be impacted if parking shortages become prevalent and public parking reservoirs are usurped. August 20, 2019 Item #9 Page 74 of 96 LCP-6-CVR-18-0070-1 Village & Barrio Master Plan Page21 Suggested Modification 12 clarifies that parking reductions may not exceed 10 percent of a project's parking requirement if city-authorized parking studies for the three prior reporting years reveal an average parking occupancy of 85 percent or more for all public parking within a quarter mile radius of the project. Otherwise, parking reductions shall be evidence-based and determined by the decision-maker. Within the Village and Barrio, the City also proposes an in-lieu fee program that can be paid into by project applicants for projects located east of the railroad tracks that are not able to provide adequate, required parking on-site. Commission staff have discussed with the city the need to add a policy to clarify that any expansion of the in-lieu parking fee area west of the railroad tracks will require an LCP amendment to be reviewed and approved by the Commission. However, there is an existing graphic (Figure 2-3), and Table 2-4 successfully describes that the in-lieu fee is only applicable to projects located east of the railroad tracks. Therefore, an amendment to the LCP would be required for the expansion of the in-lieu fee west of the railroad tracks. Section 2. 7 .3 does not identify the Carlsbad-by-the-Sea retirement home as an exception within the HOSP district, and Table 2-1 Permitted Uses allows Professional Care Facilities within the HOSP District as a conditional use, not subject to any ground floor restriction. Therefore, a conditional use permit would allow Carlsbad-by-the-Sea to expand its operations within the HOSP district, or any other professional care facility to locate within the HOSP District and use ground floor space for non-visitor serving uses. Professional Care Facilities are not priority uses, and new professional care facilities should not be exempt from the ground floor restricted uses requirement. Suggested Modification 7 clarifies that Professional Care Facilities are not priority or visitor- serving uses and thus should not be located on the ground floor street frontage within the VB area. Professional Care Facilities will be relocated from the "Residential" to the "Other" category, and will not be allowed to be located along the ground floor street frontage. Additionally, the City's proposed allowance for ground floor occupancy by Child Day Care Centers in Table 2-1, Permitted Uses is not consistent with visitor-serving policies typically permitted within the VC and HOSP districts in the coastal zone, nor with the certified Master Plan and Design Manual. The primary permitted land uses shall be those which assure priority for coastal-dependent and coastal-related development or visitor- serving and commercial uses. Visitor-serving commercial uses include but are not limited to: hotels, motels, restaurants, recreational or tourist information facilities, and souvenir, gift, and novelty shops. All other land uses shall be provisional or accessory uses within the VC and HOSP districts. Suggested Modification 8 adds a footnote to clarify that that Child Day Care Centers shall not be permitted on the ground floor street frontage in VC and HOSP districts. The category for Athletic and Health Club, Gymnasium, and Physical Conditioning Business within the VC and HOSP districts proposes to allow their development with ground floor street frontage within the HOSP district, and not to allow them on ground floors within the VC district. It should be noted that while VC typically is an abbreviation August 20, 2019 Item #9 Page 75 of 96 LCP-6-CVR-18 -0070-1 Village & Barrio Master Plan Page 22 for "visitor-commercial," within the VBMP, "VC" stands for "Village Center." The City has submitted information indicating that there are increasing numbers of visitors in search of health clubs while traveling and staff finds health clubs may be considered "visitor-serving." In this case, the HOSP district, which is entirely in the coastal zone and meant to provide a transition between the beach and the heart of the village, is located westward of the VC district. The VC district is the core area of the Village and includes a mix of commercial, attached residential, and mixed-use building types; therefore, athletic gyms may be permitted within the VC district. As such, Suggested Modification 9 adds footnote "2" to prohibit ground floor street frontage uses for Athletic and Health-Club, Gymnasium, and Physical Conditioning Business within the HOSP district, and redacts footnote "2" to allow ground floor street frontage locations for Athletic and Health Club, Gymnasium, and Physical Conditioning Business within the VC district. As submitted, Sections 2.7.1.I and 2.7.3.I discuss minimum retail space building frontages and the percentage of occupancy required for habitable space on the ground floor in the VC and HOSP districts. Specifically, the City proposes to require new ground floor street frontage uses permitted within the boundaries of the restriction area identified on Figure 2-2 shall occupy more than one-half of ground floor habitable space developed on the ground floor and shall span at least 80 percent of the building's street frontage. . These districts need to be activated with meaningful, visitor-serving and commercial uses. The Commission remains concerned that more specification is needed. City and Commission staffs have discussed this issue in detail , and the city has had input from a consultant that stated that taller ceiling heights are more important than building depths for commercial spaces located on the ground floor. However, Commission staff does not want the visitor-serving and priority commercial uses to become secondary to residential or other uses in this area if parking lots or other uses are allowed on the ground floor frontage. Thus , Suggested Modification 15 clarifies that in the Coastal Zone along Carlsbad Boulevard and Carlsbad Village Drive, new ground floor street frontage uses shall have a minimum building depth of 25 feet. Another city provision in Section 2.7.3.J Hospitality calls out the Army and Navy Academy as an exception to the HOSP district's restrictions on ground floor educational uses. It should be noted that the Army and Navy Academy's Master Site Plan is not a part of the City's certified LCP. Table 2-1 Permitted Uses does not allow new educational uses within the HOSP district; however, as proposed , it is unclear whether Army and Navy Academy could expand outside of its existing site. Educational uses are not typical within visitor-serving and commercial , and the expansion of existing or addition of new educational uses within the HOSP district should not occur. Suggested Modification 17 clarifies that amendments to the Army and Navy Master Site Plan, Village and Barrio Master Plan, and the Carlsbad LCP shall be required if any of the following are proposed or occur: expansion of the campus beyond the Master Site Plan and within the VBMP; a proposed land use is inconsistent with the goals of the Master Site Plan; cessation of the Army and Navy Academy or re-use of the site is proposed, or a land use is proposed that reduces required parking. Suggested Modification 20, discussed further below, adds that references to the "Village Master Plan and Design Manual" in existing plans, permits, approval documents, etc., shall be construed to mean the VBMP to the extent that such August 20, 2019 Item #9 Page 76 of 96 LCP-6-CVR-18-0070-1 Village & Barrio Master Plan Page 23 references remain applicable. As modified, the Commission finds the LUP amendment consistent with the Chapter 3 policies of the Coastal Act. PART VI. FINDINGS FOR REJECTION OF THE CITY OF CARLSBAD IMPLEMENTATION PLAN AMENDMENT, AS SUBMITTED A. AMENDMENT DESCRIPTION The IP amendment would expand the boundaries of the existing Village LCP segment to incorporate the Barrio area and several other parcels from the Mello II LCP segment and rename the Village LCP segment to the Village-Barrio LCP segment; repeal the existing Village Master Plan and Design Manual (the LUP/IP for the Village LCP segment) and replace it with the Village-Barrio Master Plan; revise text in the Zoning Ordinance (part of the City's certified IP); eliminate the existing Village Review (V-R) zone and rezone all parcels located within the Village-Barrio LCP segment with a new Village-Barrio (V- B) zone. In addition, text changes will occur throughout the Zoning Ordinance to replace references to the Village LCP segment with the Village-Barrio LCP segment. B. SUMMARY FINDINGS FOR REJECTION The standard of review for LCP implementation plan submittals or amendments is their consistency with and ability to carry out the provisions of the certified LUP. The primary changes to the City's Zoning Ordinance are proposed in Chapter 21.35 V-R Village Review Zone. Chapter 21.35 details the land use classifications and development standards and procedures for that unique area of the city described in the Carlsbad Village Master Plan and Design Manual. The proposed revisions to this section replace references to the V-R with the new V-B (Village-Barrio) classification, and omit and consolidate existing sections and subsections . Additional changes to the City's Zoning Ordinance are proposed in Chapters 21.05, 21.41, 21.44, 21.45, 21.53 , 21.83, 21.84, and 21.201 to replace reforences to the Carlsbad Village Master Plan and Design Manual with references to the Village and Barrio Master Plan. C. SPECIFIC FINDINGS FOR REJECTION The standard of review for LCP implementation submittals or amendments is their consistency with and ability to carry out the provisions of the certified LUP. a) Purpose and Intent of the Ordinance. The purpose of the proposed Zoning Ordinance amendments is to eliminate the ex isting Village Review (V-R) zone and rezone all parcels located within the Village-Barrio LCP segment with a new Village-Barrio (V-B) zone. August 20, 2019 Item #9 Page 77 of 96 LCP-6-CVR-18-0070-1 Village & Barrio Master Plan Page 24 b) Major Provisions of the Ordinance. The primary changes to the City's Zoning Code are proposed in Chapter 21.3 5 regarding V-B Village-Barrio Review Zone. The proposed revisions to this section incorporate the repeal of the existing Village Master Plan and Design Manual, and the adoption of the Village-Barrio Master Plan. References to the Village Master Plan and Design Manual are replaced with references to the Village-Barrio Master Plan, and minor textual modifications are made to pre-certified sections. Section 21 .. 35.040 is modified from and added to Chapter 21.35 to ensure that projects developed pursuant to Chapter 21.35 shall be subject to the provisions of the Village and Barrio Master Plan, and all applicable provisions of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. c) Adequacy of the Ordinance to Implement the Certified LUP Segments. The Commission can only reject LCP implementation plan amendments where it can be shown that the amendment would be inconsistent with the certified land use plan (LUP) or render the IP inadequate to carry out the LUP. In this case, the Village and Barrio Master Plan cannot be found consistent with the certified LUP or is inadequate to carry it out, and therefore must be rejected as submitted. The City of Carlsbad's certified LCP includes the following relevant LUP policies: Village and Barrio Master Plan Section 1.5 .1.A states in relevant part: [ ... ] Encourage mixed use development projects in the Village Center, with an emphasis on pedestrian-oriented retail uses on the ground floor , and office, other non-residential, and residential uses on upper floors. [. .. ] Prioritize visitor-serving commercial and hospitality uses within the Coastal Zone portion of the Village. [. . .] Mello II Segment Policy 1-1 Allowable Land Uses (Mello II) states: Allowable uses are those that are consistent with both the General Plan and the Local Coastal Program. Policy 6-10 Lower Cost Visitor-Serving Recreational Uses states: August 20, 2019 Item #9 Page 78 of 96 LCP-6-CVR-18-0070-1 Village & Barrio Master Plan Page 25 Lower cost visitor and recreational facilities shall be protected, encouraged and, where feasible, provided. Policy 7-10 Parking states: Parking standards set forth within the City of Carlsbad Zoning Ordinance are appropriate for the future development of various land uses. The Village and Barrio Master Plan serves as the LUP and the IP for the Village and Barrio areas. The VBMP identifies allowable land uses in each district of the Village and Barrio areas. The City 's Zoning Ordinance is identified as a "permissive" code, which contrary to plain language, means that all uses not expressly allowed in the Zoning Ordinance are prohibited. Other portions of the Municipal Code also regulate or prohibit certain activities. The City proposes to replace all references in the Municipal Code from "Village-Review" to "Village-Barrio," and clarify the types of development that are allowable within the newly created Village-Barrio segment, including parcels transferred from the Mello II segment into the Village-Barrio segment. The proposed IP amendment creates the potential to adversely impact coastal resources and could be found inconsistent with the certified LUP due to its allowance of non-priority ground floor uses in the Coastal Zone, a lack of enforceable parking reduction metrics , and the possibility for roadway projects to impact coastal access. PART VII. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL OF THE CITY OF CARLSBAD IMPLEMENTATION PLAN AMENDMENT, IF MODIFIED The City 's proposed Section 6.2.1 discusses the components of the VBMP to be included in the City's certified LCP; however, there is not a policy, standard , or guideline that determines which document shall be referenced in the case of a conflict among LCP documents and other city policies, guidelines, and standards. If conflicts arise, there must be a single document to be controlling. Otherwise, the IP would not be able to fully function as an enforceable document and would not be able to carry out the provisions of the LUP . Therefore, Suggested Modification 20 clarifies that if conflicts arise between the L ocal Coastal Program and other policies , standards , or guidelines of the Master Plan, the Local Coastal Program provisions shall be controlling. Also , Suggested Modification 19 includes Section 4.5.2 Managing Parking and Increasing Mobility as part of the City 's certified LCP to provide further policy direction within the LCP for parking management and requirements. With the suggested modifications described above, the proposed amendment is consistent with and adequate to carry out the certified LUP. PART VIII. CONSISTENCY WITH THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENT AL QUALITY ACT {CEOA) The City of Carlsbad prepared and certified a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) on May 16 , 2018 for the Village and Barrio Master Plan. The MND concluded that, with August 20, 2019 Item #9 Page 79 of 96 LCP-6-CVR-18-0070-1 Village & Barrio Master Plan Page 26 mitigation, all environmental impacts associated with the proposed Master Plan and LCP amendment would be reduced to less than significant levels. Section 21080.9 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) exempts local government from the requirement of preparing an environmental impact report (EIR) in connection with its local coastal program. Instead, the Coastal Commission acts as lead agency for the purposes of fulfilling CEQA. The Commission's LCP review and approval program has been found by the Resources Agency to be functionally equivalent to the EIR process. Thus, under CEQA Section 21080.5, the Commission is relieved of the responsibility to prepare an EIR for each LCP submission. Nevertheless, the Commission is required in an LCP submittal or, as in this case, an LCP amendment submittal, to find that the LCP, or LCP, as amended, does conform with CEQA provisions. In this particular case, the LCP amendment, with incorporation of the suggested modifications, will not have any significant adverse effects on the environment and no significant coastal resource impacts are anticipated. The suggested modifications will ensure that the Village and Barrio segment can be further developed without risk to the environment, or to the public's ability to access and enjoy the coast. Therefore, the Commission finds that the subject LUP and IP, as amended, conform with the CEQA prov1s1ons.

August 20, 2019 Item #9 Page 89 of 96 Public Comment on June 2019 Agenda Item Thursday 19a -City of Carlsbad LCP Amendment No. LCP-6-C VR-1 8-0070 -1 (Village Writing in Opposition Judy Frankel Chairman Bike Walk Carlsbad Chairman Bike Walk North County Founder Bike Walk Encinita I was following this process with regard to bike safety. The traffic engineers recommended both a side path for children and slow moving bikes and sharrows and Bikes May Use Full Lane signs on Grand Ave as they are narrowing Grand to make a wider side walk and path . San Diego County Bike Coalition also recommended this. The Carlsbad Planning Commission stated they wanted to discourage bikes on Grand so did not go by Staff and SDCBC recommendations and forbid recommended bike infra on the roadway on Grand. Grand is the only safe East West Corridor to the beach currently in that area of Carlsbad that crosses the railroad tracks. Traffic is light with many pedestrian crossings and intersections. Carlsbad Village Drive also needs sharrows as the bike lane is minimum standard and the travel lanes are well under minimum at 9.5 feet wide . The bike lane next to that travel lane are unsafe and don't give bikes the legally required 3 feet of passing space when used . Large cars and trucks don't fit in the 9 .5 foot travel lanes side by side with extenden\d mirrors. Traffic is high on Carlsbad Village Drive. As the planning commission stated they want to discourage bicycling on Grand Ave which is the only current safe way to get to the beach from the east ... Planning commission went against recommendations of traffic engineers and SDCBC and will narrow the road without providing for the safe use of bicyclists who use the road and find it dangerous to be riding on a side path with pedestrians, children on bikes, driveway crossings and intersections. A side path ( class 4) is optional use for bicyclists who legally use the roadway. Narrowing without using sharrows and/or bikes may use full lane signs subjects cyclists using the narrow road to harassment and close passes. They are removing any space required for Class 2 bike lanes. The City Council passed the plan as the Planning Commission approved it just to get it the rest of it through without consideration of cyclists and with little time for public input as they lowered the time of oral testimony as the room was filled to capacity with many objections. I would be for the rest of the plan if the Planning Commission is not allowed to override what Traffic Engineers deem as safe for road users. The Planning Commission are not safety engineers and should not be allowed to have input in how a roadway may be striped for safety That should be left to traffic engineers who know safe engineering standards and the law. Grand A venue is part of the Coastal Commissions responsibility and should not be used to discourage bicycling to the beach or the coast. Cycling should be encouraged and made safe . Thank you for your attention . Judy Frankel Bike Walk Carlsbad August 20, 2019 Item #9 Page 91 of 96 Dear CCC, Our family has really enjoyed living -surfing TRack/Terramar/Offshore, biking The Village/coast, walking to school/The Village/Beach in the Carlsbad Village/Barrio & Olde Carlsbad coastal area. For the past 23 years we have been very blessed to own our Olde CBad home . We have had only positive experiences with the City of Carlsbad employees over the decades! The city has done an excellent job redeveloping DT Carlsbad from the 70's/80's into The Village by-the-Sea for the 21st century. Some great developments have gone up along State street north of Grand -visionary architects created the Campfire building area. We choose to settle and raise our family in Olde Carlsbad blocks from The Village because of the Village by-the-Sea Old California charm, mom and pop shops and less congestion and stress than LA & OC where my wife was born and raised. We tried living in LA & OC for 7 years but moved back to Carlsbad to get away from the intense overdevelopment, congestion and stress that has made those areas so difficult & expensive to live· in, especially for families. The Village is still The Village by-the-Sea for now. Over the decades we have lived here the residents have said in surveys over and over again to maintain The Village small town feel and charm. Until recently the city did a great job keeping1 it this way. With a few exceptions like the big box-l ike modern commercial building on the corner of C\(D & Harding . Altho'ugh the building is practical (with Verizon/Subway/Supercuts) it is completely out of place f'.or "The Village" the citizens want to keep. More recently The Packard building :,ivas turred into a 4 story bqx of $1 M+ apartments . Across the street they are also developing some sort of massive project with big box design . We have seen proposals to develop big box looking 4 story commercial buildings in the Heart of The Village over the years . These buildings look much like the one on Harding & CVD except it is even bigger (4 st1ories instead of 2) and boxier -evoking a big box strip mall. This type of building is completely out of place for The Village that took decades to create and is the reason most of us choose to live here. Having lived 1 O miles from ~untington Beach for 3 years (surfing there weekly) this reminds us of one of the uglier DT areas ip all of coastal Califorria. HB DT Pier area was le"'.~led during the 80's and turned into a strip mall ~m the beach i A fun place to surf., buy beach/surf stuff and drink/eat afterwards (mostly catering for tourists) but otherwise little small town charm is left and no sense of a Village. We are very opposed to redeveloping the 8eart of Carlsbad Village this way. We feel these oversized boxy (strip mall looking) commercial buildings would ruin "The Carlsbad Village" charm for good. The larger boxy buildings maximizing sq. footage for developers make sense in other parts of Carlsbad - central commercial areas & La Costa near existing large scale resorts but not in "The Village by-the-Sea" that took decades to create. From the Village Plan: • Making the overall tone, content and graphics more Carlsbad-specific and in line with the community's character. • Revising design guidelines so they are easier to understand' and have more "teeth" so city staff, the Planning Commission and City Council can more easily ensure proposed projects are consi~tent with the community's character. Thank you, Kervin & Patty Segovia-Krause F amily Carlsbad, CA 92008 Olde Carlsbad/Village/Barrio Area August 20, 2019 Item #9 Page 92 of 96 Peter Penseyres League of American Bicyclists Certified Instructor #2020 Carlsbad, CA.92008 I have followed the Mobility portion of the Village and Barrio plan closely since moving from Oceanside to Carlsbad in late 2015. I am primarily interested in bicycle and pedestrian safety and have taught a number of Smart Cycling classes in Carlsbad since moving here. The Smart Cycling curriculum is 9 hours, consisting of a 3 hour classroom and a 6 hour road session, including parking lot drills and a written exam. It is essentially Driver's Ed for bicyclists. At the beginning of each class we read aloud the statement "Cyclists fare best when they act as and are treated as drivers of vehicles." I am supportive of most of the mobility elements of the plan and agree with the Coastal Commission's Suggested Modification #1 regarding improved bicycle and pedestrian access to Carlsbad Village Drive. The existing Class 2 Bike Lanes are to be removed to increase the width of the travel lanes and the sidewalks. I am in favor of the Bike Lane removal as long as they are replaced with Sharrows in the #2 lanes . This is consistent with the existing roadway east of the 1-5 . However, the latest approved version of the Plan removed sh arrows on Carlsbad . Village Drive along with the Bike Lanes which appears to be inconsistent with the Coastal Commission's clearly stated position for multi-modal improvements to this most important access road to the village and beach area. I respectfully request that Sharrows on Carlsbad Village Drive be included as a Suggested Modification for Coastal Commission approval. Thank you. Peter Penseyres August 20, 2019 Item #9 Page 93 of 96 To Coastal Commission: I wish to recommend that a small but important portion of the proposed plan be changed to include the use of Shared Lane Pavement Markings (Sharrows) and the signs, Bikes May Use Full Lane, on Grand Ave and Carlsbad Village Drive .. Carlsbad traffic engineers recommended sharrows and Bikes May Use Full Lane signs on Grand Ave because they propose to narrow Grand Ave lanes under 9.5 feet wide to make a wider side walk and a Class IV bikeway. Their recommendations were over ruledl by the Planning Commission. Grand is the only safe East West corridor to the beach currently in that area of Carlsbad that crosses the railroad tracks. There are many pedestrian crossings and intersections. Sharrows and signs will help discourage motorist harassment and enhance the safety and comfort for people seeking to use these corridors for transportation by bicycle. Thank you for your consideration of this recommendation. Jim Baross, President California Association of Bicycling Organizations August 20, 2019 Item #9 Page 94 of 96 -. -. -, ,' •. . , I',/.

Carlsbad, CA 92008 Date:August1,2019 FROM: Simon Angel -- TO: Celia Brewer, City Attorney, Scott Chadwick, City Manager SUBJECT: Village and Barrio Master Plan, Final draft, Chapter 6, Page 6-5, 6.3.4 Authority for Approval, C.1. Ms. Brewer, In reviewing the Coastal Commission Report and the VBMP which will be coming back to the City Council for review and approval in August, we came across some language that we believe may be problematic. The language that we believe is problematic is in C.1 as identified in the subject line above. C.1 states, "The City Council shall: 1. Have the authority to approve, approve with conditions, or deny projects in the VC, VG, Hosp, FC, and PT districts." Only one of the Barrio districts is included. This is the Pine/Tyler Barrio district. The other Barrio districts have been excluded by omission. We can only assume that this was an over-sight. In our opinion this provision places an undue burden on the Barrio districts that were omitted which are the Barrio Center (BC) district, the Barrio Perimeter (BP) district and the Village/Barrio Other (VBO) district. It treats the omitted Barrio districts in a disparate manner because while Village districts will have access to the City Council concerning projects in those districts through the regular process, the omitted districts could only access the City Council through the · appeals process for projects in the omitted districts at a minimum cost of $800 per appeal. As you can see, this issue may present legal liability regarding the VBMP. This is a matter that can be resolved simply by altering the language of C.1. Page 1 of2 August 20, 2019 Item #9 Page 95 of 96 This would not present a material change regarding the Coastal Commission Report and City Council action since it is more of a tidying up of language to correct an omission. It is our hope that you can prevail on the city that it is in the best interest of all to initiate a change in the language of C.1 to include all districts within the scope of the VBMP. I can be contacted at the telephone number above or by e-mail at Thank you for your attention and consideration in this matter.

This memorandum also explains the recommended action within the staff report and the two-step process for revisions to the Village & Barrio Master Plan, if de sired by City Council. Background In September 2018, staff submitted an application to the Commission, on behalf of the City of Carlsbad, to amend the Local Coastal Program in the Village & Barrio and to certify the new Master Plan approved by City Council on July 10, 2018. On July 13, 2019, the Commission certified the Master Plan with the condition that the City Council accept 23 plan revisions, or "suggested modifications", intended to ensure implementation of the,Coastal Act in the Village & Barrio. Over 40% of the approximately 350-acre planning area (of the Village & Barrio) is located within the state-designated Coastal Zone. In this zone, all land use planning and development must be consistent with the California Coastal Act. While the City Council's approval of the Master Plan became effective outside the Coastal Zone in the Village & Barrio in August 2018, it will not become effective inside the Coastal Zohe unless certified by the Commission. If certified, the Master Plan will serve as the "Local Coastal Program" to implement the Coastal Act in the Village & Barrio. A certified plan will also replace the older Village Master Plan and Design Manual -that remains applicable in the Coastal Zone of the Village & Barrio at this time. Discussion At its Aug . 20, 2019, meeting, City Council will be asked to review and consider the suggested modifications to the Village & Barrio Master Plan as approved by the Commission. The suggested modifications can be separated into two categories: 1) the 23 plan revisions required by the Coastal Commission to implement the Coastal Act, and 2) minor Master Plan edits requested by city staff. The suggested modifications from the Commission are required to ensure Community Services Branch Community & Economic Development -Planning Division 1635 Faraday Avenue I Carlsbad, CA 92008 I 760-602-4600 I 760-602-8560 fax Honorable Mayor Hall and Members of the City Council Aug. 15, 2019 Page 2 implementation of the Coastal Act in the Village & Barrio. The minor edits requested by staff a r e mostly housekeeping changes; such as correct ing misspellings or section references; these edits · a lso cla r ify seve ral standards, such as line of sight requirements, pu r pose and use of the parking in-lieu fee and revising the size limit for fourth floor space. It is important to note that only those modifications and plan edits set forth in the Aug. 20, 2019 City Council Staff Report may be discussed and considered fo r approval. The action has not bee n noticed as a genera l discussion about more substantial or significant revisions to the Village & Barrio Master Plan r e lated to development standards, land use policies, or other pol icies such as the parking in-lieu fee program. However, the City Council may direct staff to return at a future meeting for a more comprehensive review and consideration of more rev isions to the Mast er Plan. Staff Re commendation Staff is recommending approval of the Commission's suggested modifications and the minor plan edits set forth in the staff reports scheduled for Aug. 20, 2019 . Staff is also recommending that the City CounciJ complete the current process for the Village & Barrio Master Plan (approved by the City Counci l on July 13, 2019) to allow for full implementation of the Master Plan, both inside and outside the Coastal Zone, before discussing any additional revisions to the Master Plan. Any additional revisions (beyond those and/or more substantial than the minor edits noted in the staff report) will require the city to start over with the Commission and submit a new application fo r a rev ised Master Plan; this will result in another year or more of development projects being processed under two different Master Plan documents (one inside the Coastal Zone and one outside). This is not ideal and will continue to cause confusion on applicab le regulations · and requirements for a much longer period of time. If additional changes are desired by the City Council, staff is recommending a two-step process whereby the City Council completes the current process to have a single Village & Barrio Master Plan for implementation both inside and outside the Coastal Zone, and then follows up with a more comprehensive review and consideration of revisions to the Master Plan at a future date. Following public input and City Council discussion as well as requ ired application processing, a revised Master Plan would then be submitted to the Commission as a new application fo r an amendment to the Master Plan and the Local Coastal Program , which will init iate additional review and approval .by the Commission. Next Steps If the City Council approves the recommended action noted in the staff report fo r Aug . 20, 2019, the city will then forward the approved ordinance demonstrating acceptance.of the suggested modifications to the Coastal Commission . This final step is required fo r the Coastal Commission to verify the city's acceptance. Staff expects this verification .will occur in la t e 2019 . Unt il then, Village & Barrio properties in the Coastal Zone will remain under the older Ca r lsbad Honorable Mayor Hall and Members of the City Council Aug. 15,2019 Page 3 Village Master Plan and Design Manual and other existing land use and zoning regulations and requirements . After Coastal Commission confirms City Council's action to accept the suggested modifications, city staff will produce a new Village & Barrio Master Plan document that provides a single, unified set of standards for all properties both inside and outside the Coastal Zone. If City Council wishes to discuss additional revisions to the newly certified Village & Barrio Master Plan, staff will return to City Council at an upcoming meeting and facilitate the process for a revision to the Village & Barrio Master Plan. cc: Celia Brewer, City Attorney Scott Chadwick, City Manager Don Neu, City Planner David de Cordova, Principal Planner Scott Donnell, Senior Planner NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN to you, because your interest may be affected, that the City Council of the City of Carlsbad will hold a public hearing at the Council Chamber, 1200 Carlsbad Village Drive, Carlsbad, California, at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, August 20, 2019, regarding the Village and Barrio Master Plan.

Acceptance by the city of the proposed modifications is necessary for the state to certify the VBMP. The primary issue we have with the VBMP which we are asking the city to address at the August 20 meeting Is the language within Chapter 6 ADMINISTRATION, 6.3.4 AUTHORITY for APPROVAL, B and C at page 6-5 of the Final Plan. Section B.1 states; "The Planning Commission -shall 1. Have the authority to approve, approve with conditions, or deny site development plans, condltlonal use permits, coastal development permits, and variances In the BP, BC, and VBO.• Section C.1 states; "The City Council shall 1. Have the authority to approve. approve with conditions, or deny pf'.Oiects in the VC, VG, HOSP, FC, and PT districts ... • There are 8 districts within the scope of authority of the VBMP. At the July 10, 2018 City Council meeting regarding the Village and Barrio Master Plan we ad~ressed the issue regarding the review process. We objected to the approval and denial determinations of projects within the VBMP being made on an administrative basis by the City Planner and the Planning Commission. We supported these determinations being made by the City Council. Our rationale was that the City Planner and the Planning Commission are not elected and therefore not accountable to the public as opposed to the City Council which are elected and are more responsive and accountable to the public. Page 1 of2 At this same meeting the City Council on a motion by Council member Blackburn it was moved to amend the VBMP to provide that projects within the Plan would be subject to a review process that included the City Council as the final decision making authority for projects. Council member M. Schumacher, during discussion was In favor but specifically excluded the "Barrio". Councll member Packard Indicated he would go along but had no strong feeling either way. The motion passed. The Village districts and the PT district were Included and 3 Barrio districts (BC, BP, VBO) were excluded. This struck us as very strange because the Plan is titled as the Village and Barrio Master Plan. During the discussion, there was no basis or rationale put forward by city council or staff that Justified the exclusion of the 3 Barrio districts from this review process. No determination or finding was made that the exclusion of the Barrio districts was In any way warranted by some "compelling government interest". In our view, the action by the city council was arbitrary and promotes discriminatory effects in that, it provides for disparate treatment between the primarily residential districts of the Barrio that were excluded and the more commercial interests of the VIiiage districts which were included in the review process within the scope of the same VBMP. The VG district is also primarily residential and yet that district is included. This just amplifies the disparity in treatment. Additionally, an undue and unnecessary burden has been placed on the excluded Barrio districts that ls not borne by the VIiiage districts. Under the Plan, the excluded Barrio districts, In order to have projects reviewed by the city council, can only proceed under the appeals process at substantlal expense whlle the VIiiage districts are not subject to this same requirement or burden. We wish to make it clear that we are not asking for special treatment for the Barrio districts. We are expecting equal treatment under the law, equal access to our elected officials, equal access to the review process under the VBMP, and without any undue burden that restricts our ability to access the process.

The Village/Barrio Master Plan is a welcome update and I look forward to the certification of the LCP after the modifications are approved on Tuesday, August 20, 2019. The overall plan itself is in need of a few amendments to make it more clearly representative and considerate of the Community's vision, requests and needs. Below are the suggested amendments I would like to see in the first update to the Master Plan and LCP; 1. Decision making authority in the barrio must be returned to the Carlsbad City Council. 2. Parking in-Lieu fees should be used towards permanent, multilevel parking structures. Leasing parking spaces is not a good long term strategy and building them in the future will not get less expensive than it is today. 3. The inclusion of Daily Use Designations must be added to the plan including {but not limited to) Grocery Store, Post Office, Hardware Store, Pharmacy and Farmers Market. 4. Architectural Design Standards must be created and added to the plan so the village stands out as Carlsbad and not a cookie cutter coastal redevelopment area. 5. Historic Designations and Vision must be created and added to the plan . Thank you for your time and attention on this matter.

I would also like to see some other improvements to the VBMP- 1. The VBMP states in Section 6 .3 .4 that decisions made for the Village are under the authority of the City Council, but not the Barrio. The Barrio should also be under the authority of the City Council, rather than the Planning Commission. 2. As new development can change historical uses from retail to housing, locals lose vital amenities. Please add to the VBMP language mandating amenities such as grocery stores, pharmacies, a post office, and other amenities needed in order that residents in the Village and Barrio can walk, take the bus, or drive a short distance to these amenities. 3 . Add language mandating creation of architectural design standards to the VBMP. 4. To preserve historical neighborhoods and houses, create and add a historic designation and vision to the VBMP. Thank you, Natalie Shapiro Carlsbad, CA 92010 1 Mia De Marzo From: Sent: To: Subject: Attachments: Clerk, Robert Wilkinson < Monday, August 19, 2019 8:44 AM City Clerk input to council ArchDesign.pdf; Parking.pdf; PrimaryBusinesses.pdf All Receive -Agendi Item # CJ For the Information of th;- CITY COUNCIL Date ~icA ~ cc _2f CM _:f:-c oo $_ DCM(3) ~ the attached papers have been sent to the council members who are able to vote on the master plan Respectfully, Robert Wilkinson Wilkinson Design Group Land Planning + Landscape Architecture Carlsbad Ca, 92018-4237 1 VILLAGE CHARACTER -BUILDING DESIGN August 2019 THE CURRENT SITUATION -2018 VILLAGE-BARRIO MASTER PLAN (MP): There is a portion of the engaged community that believes they are losing an important quality in the Village to new development. Their cry is to "keep the Village quaint", that is a low key, laid back, one to two story hamlet from decades past. Others see that as a sleepy backwater with low energy and low interest. Can we chart a course now that gives something meaningful to each of these two views?. That is what this paper attempts to do as it recognizes the there will be more 3-4 story buildings that will go up in the future. It also recognizes that the new village must reorganize itself as a fully self sufficient neighborhood to live in. And If it reaches for all it can be it should become a cherished destination for a day long outing for all of us in Carlsbad plus a few of our guest. The position of this paper is that it is more important to achieve a high level of building design and quality, a rich level of physical character than it is to try to maintain a low level Village profile in being "quaint". Although the new MP has attempted to raise the bar on design it has not gone far enqugh to achieve that meaningful objective. I will use three. developments as examples in stating the position of this paper. First is the fully built Grand Madison (GM) although this was reviewed and approved based on the old MP the new MP will allow something very similar to be built today. So lets all go for a walk and stroll by this new building, and ask yourself does the street edge facade that is supposed to house retail/restaurants reach out inviting you to explore what is inside. It does have a personality, is it a personality that you can relate to ? Does it have charm & warmth giving it the character you enjoy. Now imagine that its street level facade is duplicated all over the Village, as of now that can happen. Second and third examples are both development proposals currently in the review process. #2 is the Grand Jefferson (GJ), yes it's on that corner. The time I reviewed it with staff planner Jason Goff (doing his very best to get what he could from this proposal), it is another poor example and it comes from the regulations in the new MP. #3 project is the "Village Station" (VS) (again staff planner Cliff Jones seems to be doing a good job) most likely the largest Village proposal in some time. Because of its size it has many hands up in air. In my view, even although it is still not perfect, it appears ( I have just had one quick review) to do many things well, i.e. parking page1of3 in a sub-level garage, and proposes three story edges at its two street edges not four. The height of these edge still reaches some 40-45ft but does not try to force 3 additional levels over the ground level (ground level now required to have a taller ceiling height). This should allow for a superior composition and massing or the street facing facades. Proposal #2(GJ) unfortunately does propose four levels forcing three over the street level. It also, (as of my review), forces a solution to the MP requirement of an open plaza on the corner. It has left open the ground level but then built the upper levels over it. It does not achieve the MP intent, but as of our review the applicant has stated it meets the MP standards as written. Where this puts us, at best, is in a hit or miss condition depending on how far the developer is willing to go in giving something back to the community to the neighborhood. Acknowledging their project is a for-profit business venture. PROPOSED SOLUTION: 1 Confirm the position of this paper, that the community wants high quality & character-rich architecture from all new work in the Village. That, at a minimum, all new street edge storefronts create an inviting personality, character with warmth & charm and or interesting/exciting providing a rich human atmosphere with, dare I say it some "soul". That we want to take the additional steps needed so our Village does not wind up looking like the other areas developed over the same time frame losing the title of "Unique". 2 The Planning Dept. brings back the architecture firm it previously used on the MP and has them pull together (working with the community) additional guidelines that point all applicants in the correct direction towards achieving Carlsbad's objectives of a unique downtown Village (core districts) 3 That firm or another becomes a longer term consultant to help City planning staff evaluate each development proposal. This is the same approach the planning dept. uses on landscape design. Staff planners are not hired having a high level of education or training in Architecture's building design the same as not having that skill on planting design in Landscape Architecture. page2of3 4 Our objective should be to get a high level of creativity and design excellence from each development proposal. To achieve these objectives, the majority of regulations in the MP should be guidelines and less hard standards. Making it very clear what our goals and objectives are. Then allow the consultant to assist staff in gauging how well each new proposal has done in meeting our written expectations. The consultant should also come back in for advisement on all Consistency Determinations effecting the exterior of the building. Attached are some photo examples of street edge buildings in other coastal village that provide additional clarity on this goal. Also attached are written guidelines taken, for the most part, from City documents regarding their objectives for downtown village environments. HERITAGE, DESIGN RESOURCES & THE HISTORIC MAIN STREET OVERLAY Proposal (HMS) -The Historic Main Street overlay shown in the attached graphic exhibit is a proposed special district within the MP's current Street Level Use Restricted area (MP figure 2-2). Within the HMS all new development should be asked to replicate the desirable traits and over all storefront character of the one block of State Street. This will expand the original and authentic Main Street atmosphere. The example offered by this block plus a few other storefront examples in the area provide the physical setting of individual storefronts lined up side to side. Other individual storefront provide examples of the rich character and styling associated with a small town's Main Street atmosphere and will represent our Village's history over its considerable time frame. Heritage Buildings & Design Resources -Each of the buildings that have played a significant role in Carlsbad's past should be retained and revered as an expression of our heritage . Some should also be considered as a resource to be drawn on when establishing the design and appearance of new buildings. The composition of the facade and brickwork of the Killan and Wonder Bread buildings provide a resource. The original transom windows in the Los Diego Hotel and Monterey styling of the Gage House can each provide some guidance for new projects. Other buildings may have an important role in our heritage like Alt Karlsbad however, their appearance or style comes from the land the builder migrated from. A land very different from ours where the building style is a direct expression of that different environment. The natural resources, building materials / techniques and climate factors all helped shape this building's architectural expression. Today that expression should not be viewed as appropriately transferable to our Southern California coastal local. PARKING August 2019 Hopefully we all recognize that two prime objectives for the full Village neighborhood should be; #1 That it matures into a premier (most liveable) seaside neighborhood. #2 That it matures into a unique downtown, a cherished destination as a focal point for the full Carlsbad community, . In response we need to make the best decisions so that these two objectives support each other rather than conflict. One thing we need to do to achieve objective #1 is to make additional improvements so it is very easy and · desirable for the residents of the full neighborhood to do all and to get all by walking or biking rather than using their car. To harmonize with that and to achieve objective #2, we also need to make the correct decisions on getting those who visit by car to join the neighborhood's pedestrian environment. To park their car for a number of hours and spend time in the Village walking and or cycling. It does not appear that the solutions to parking that were the results of the City's parking study for the MP are the best or effective solutions in achieving solutions #1 & #2 . Those solutions are; #3 A FUTURE W/ REDUCED NEED FOR PARKING : Relying on the demand for parking to subside in future years. This will be the result of many of us using our private vehicles less to travel around Carlsbad. Traveling from south Carlsbad to our downtown will be by a hailed service that will just drop us off and then move on, no parking needed. To a degree this appears to be happening, in more dense cities. Unfortunately, an unexpected result is that there is more traffic on their streets. As these hailed cars are not shared rides and the vehicles circle looking for new rides. Is that an acceptable result, less parking more traffic on the streets? #2 LEASED PARKING LOTS: Until we achieve solution #3 the City's "in lieu" program will expand leasing private property for surface parking lots. At best a temporary solution that will evaporate in time as private property develops. #1 CURB MANAGEMENT: This could be viewed as the most immediate way to address parking, that is a more efficient use and management of the land we have already given to the car, our streets. We do have many oversized roads that can add more parking. However, there will be more competition for those curbs like much more red curbs for safety sight lines, reserved areas for service vehicles, valet service, and more room for bikes and pedestrians. If we look around at other retail centers or other down towns most include a formal group/shared/ stacked facility. We think this should be part of the solution for our downtown Village BENEFITS OF THE "PARKING IN LIEU' PROGRAM Again, our goal should be that this neighborhood has a mobility environment that is predominantly walking & biking. Plus having the majority of visitors in the core area, other than transit patrons, quickly become pedestrians in a multi hour multi stop/shop walk about. Parking in a group facility shared & supported by multi businesses/properties (parking in lieu program) some of which have different (off setting) hours of operation will be the most efficient and effective at managing the neighborhood objectives. If these facilities are not part of a mobility program, visitors will need to park at their first stop/store's more limited parking shop then move their car to the next stop. Or worse leave their car at the first stop and leave that property for other shopping. This is common today, it causes problems now and those problems will only get worse as the Village matures over time. PROPOSAL: Incentives construction of group, shared, stacked parking facilities with a private /public partnership where the city pays the private developer to build additional parking over what the builder's development needs. The amended MP should make this statement that the City, is open to this kind of arrangement. • Today the attributes of this program can only apply in the parts of the Village neighborhood that lie east of the rial corridor due to the LCP regulations. PRIMARY BUSINESSES / USES REQUIRED FOR A FULLY MIXED USE / SELF SUFFICIENT DOWNTOWN VILLAGE NEIGHBORHOOD: August2019 Proposal: The MP should identify this issue, listing the businesses uses that are viewed as primary for the objective. It should discuss the desirability of producing or retaining the consistent services of primary businesses and the enhancement of these neighborhood resources. Having them placed at one of the optimal locations . The list should start with grocery store, full service pharmacy (both at an urban scale), full hardware, day care, and Federal Post Office store front services, plus other business uses. The MP should mention the current / on-going retail market analysis study, its target date for completion and a list what its prescribed findings will be. The Council should, as it considers this issue, ask for an update status of that analysis. It should define, going forward, which staff position should manage this issue and that position's management responsibilities. The council should direct the planning staff to update the commercial land use categorizes adding the stand alone "Urban type" businesses that should be pursued in the Village, the general plan does not have this. The MP should list the known primary criteria that will be significant in assessing where these uses can be placed. Also the best management in achieving these very important "quality of life" services for the full Village neighborhood. The MP should; O Identify the top six to twelve uses. O Note the city's ongoing dialog with existing businesses that currently , provide some of these services and what their future forecast is. O Note the small range of footprint & parcel sizes required for new uses. 0 Note the number of parking spaces needed for these uses. The Village is a TOD area this standard should be less than similar uses in the other areas of town. O Identify_ potential location for new uses based on criteria of access, visibility & serviceability.

I am hoping our Council rethinks & revises it's parking in lieu of fee. I hope the council uses the fees to create more parking in the village. I work in the Village & I don't see the reduction of cars on our streets & lack of parking effects the businesses . I think it's VERY important that all zoning & building in the Barrio always MUST remain with Carlsbad citizens & the elected council. Our village needs to have businesses for the residents as well as tourists so it's important that we have certain business such as grocery stores, USPS, specifically designated in the plan And it's very important that we add more specific guidelines of "Charm of the Village" in the Plan. All I've seen both in the Village & the barrio is cold, boxy, blah construction, void of personality or charm. We need better architectural guidelines & specific Historical guidelines in our building regs.

The inclusion of Daily Use Designations must be added to the plan, including (but not limited to): Grocery Store, Post Office, Hardware Store, Pharmacy and Farmer's Market.

Mod. Hello Priya, When ruling on the Village Barrio Plan please don't take away our post office, grocery store. Also, I am hoping that "historic designation" is added to the Barrio/Master Plan. Parking is getting real bad, it would be wonderful if the " parking in- lieu fees" could be used to build parking structures/parking lots. The power to rule on the Barrio Plan must be with the city council.Thank You!!

For the past 23 years we have been very blessed to own our Olde CBad home. We have had only positive experiences with the City of Carlsbad employees over the decades! The city has done an excellent job redeveloping DT Carlsbad from the 70's/80's into The Village by-the-Sea for the 21st century. Some great developments have gone up along State street north of Grand -visionary architects created the Campfire building area. We choose to settle and raise our family in Olde Carlsbad blocks from The Village because of the Village by-the-Sea Old California charm, mom and pop shops and less congestion and stress than LA & OC where my wife was born and raised. We tried living in LA & OC for 7 years but moved back to Carlsbad to get away from the intense overdevelopment, congestion and stress that has made those areas so difficult & expensive to live in, especially for families. The Village is still The Village by-the-Sea for now. Over the decades we have lived here the residents have said in surveys over and over again to maintain The Village small town feel and charm. Until recently the city did a great job keeping it this way. With a few exceptions like the big box-like modern commercial building on the corner of CVD & Harding. Although the building is practical (with Verizon/Subway/Supercuts) it is out of place for "The Village" the citizens want to keep. More recently The Packard building was turned into a 4 story box of $1 M+ apartments. Across the street they are also developing some sort of massive project with a big box design. We have seen proposals to develop big box looking 4 story commercial buildings in the Heart of The Village over the years. These buildings look much like the one on Harding & CVD except it is even bigger (4 stories instead of 2) and boxier -evoking a big box strip mall. This type of building is completely out of place for The Village that took decades to create and is the reason most of us choose to live here. Having lived 10 miles from Huntington Beach for 3 years ( surfing there weekly) this reminds us of one of the uglier OT areas in all of coastal California. HB OT Pier area was leveled during the 80's and turned into a strip mall on the beach. A fun place to surf, buy beach/surf stuff and drink/eat afterwards (mostly catering for tourists) but otherwise little small town charm is left and no sense of aVillage. We are very opposed to redeveloping the Heart of Carlsbad Village this way. We feel these oversized boxy (strip mall looking) commercial buildings would ruin "The Carlsbad Village" charm for good. The larger boxy buildings maximizing sq. footage for developers make sense in other parts of Carlsbad -central commercial areas & La Costa near existing large scale resorts but not in "TheVillage by-the-Sea" that took decades to create. From the Village Plan: • Making the overall tone, content and graphics more Carlsbad-specific and in line with the community's character. • Revising design guidelines so they are easier to understand and have more "teeth" so city staff, the Planning Commission and City Council can more easily ensure proposed projects are consistent with the community's character.

It is clear that business owners in the Village, developers who want to build non-affordable housing, tourist service providers, and consultants hand-picked by the powers-that-be have all had their say. Appendix B of the VBMP, the Economic Study, makes it pretty clear that the intent is to boot out the existing owners of "lower-quality housing stock" so that they can be supplanted with higher income resident and commercial entities. It states that "Many firms have located in the area because the firm's executive wants to locate in Carlsbad." Further on, "There is strong interest in the Village but existing commercial space is unable to meet demand." This is despite the fact that the Study indicates that the Barrio is mostly residential with larger families than in the rest of Carlsbad. Where are these people supposed to go? Appendix B first lays out that the neighborhood is different than the rest of Carlsbad and adds the most diversity to the city. Many folks who live there now could not afford to live elsewhere in Carlsbad. The city always claims that it wants to provide adequate affordable housing yet then includes this statement in the VBMP Economic Study in Appendix B regarding developer profits: Either the houses themselves must be very expensive, or the density must be relatively high. I don't think the citizens of Carlsbad who are not in the building, construction, and/or real estate industries want to support developers to the exclusion of existing residents. As more and more high-density projects are built and have become visible, there are more and more comments about how the Village is not what it used to be. Appendix B describes how the VBMP area has accessible transportation, particularly public transit. That makes the area an excellent place for affordable housing, yet it is not mentioned 1 anywhere in the Study. Once again, the Barrio residents whose average "incomes are low" are ignored. Another factor that makes it clear that input from the Barrio residents was not desired was the refusal on the part of the city to publish a Spanish language version of the VBMP. There were a few web pages in Spanish but the VBMP is dozens of pages long. Hispanics make up more than 10% of the Carlsbad population, enough so that the city buckled to a lawsuit that there was not adequate electoral representation and changed the whole city council election strategy to a district system. But they were not considered an important enough group to effectively communicate the contents of the VBMP that affects many of their lives significantly. I don't know about other Carlsbad citizens, but I don't want the city shoveling out our money to resolve a lawsuit brought because they did not address the Hispanic citizens about a project that could mean the loss of many of their homes and businesses. It really is a disgrace. Please include this communication as part of the public record.
